You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Dancing' tag.
I know this is rather a cop-out, but since I like to think so many of you are worried about me in my blogging absence I didn't want to be a total failure!
Week in recap
- SAVING CEECEE HONEYCUTT by Beth Hoffman – very sweet novel of a young girl growing up surrounded by strong women. Reminiscent of THE HELP, though not as epic. Worth picking up – Beth Hoffman is an author to watch!
- IMPERFECT BIRDS by Anne Lamott – My first experience with Anne Lamott, but I now understand why she has such a huge, devoted fan base. A tough story to read about family struggles, mainly with a mom and her daughter doing drugs. Will be sending to my own mom so she can better appreciate just how well-behaved I really was in high school! Will be available April 6, from Riverhead
- THE BOOK THIEF by Marcus Zusak – I've read several WWII novels lately, and this title (told from the perspective of Death), may be my favorite. I also highly suggest another recent read, CITY OF THIEVES (which my friend Max guest-blogged about last month).
- Also worth noting, this coming Tuesday, 2/9, marks the release of the highly anticipated THE POSTMISTRESS by Sarah Blake – a novel based on three women with intersecting lives in the time of WWII. This deserves a far better written review, but since I am incapable of doing such high-level things at the moment, I invite you to wander on over to Serendipitous Reading and KellyVision for their takes (if you've also written a review, I'd love for you to leave your link!)
Imbibed (to be filed, eventually, in my "city-imbibing" page):
- My roommate Liz and I have a couch-sleeper for a bit, and we went out to celebrate her return to NYC with our favorite sushi restaurant, Typhoon, which happens to conveniently be located two store fronts from our apartment. During the week all sushi is 50% off and it is delicious. I can't recommend highly enough the green tea fried ice cream to top off the meal!
- Drank: a delicious Red Rhone Wine, courtesy of my classy and cultured OUB & OAD. I've been informed the grapes are from Italy – the wine was so tasty I would really like to go pick some of my own grapes from the countryside.
- Nothing like some Spanish dancing to kick off Friday early (and by early, I mean late on Thursday night). I have no rhythm, but after several mojitos at the Meat Packing's Son Cubana, even I could merengue! The food was fabulous (the goat cheese croquettes were to die for) and the live band made it feel quite exotic.
Also, in my total nerdy, authors-as-celebrities mind, I got to meet Chang-rae Lee!!!!!!!!!! If you've never experienced his writing, I highly suggest you pre-order his upcoming novel THE SURRENDERED and prepare yourself to become totally immersed.

Smash Season 1 Episode 12
I was the one carping about how Raza Jaffrey only had lines like "Are you going in early" and "Shouldn't you talk to him?" but also had an inexplicable job we were infrequently supposed to care about (and a coworker who exists only to irritate us, the viewer, since Karen doesn't even seem to know her name). But I'm guessing I wasn't the only one or some producer screeched about how much money they were paying him and they'd better make a point of actually giving him something to do. So that "something" turned out to be a Bollywood dance because ...of course it did. And nobody's imaginations stretch further than Bollywood in an Indian restaurant, so that's where it went down.
I certainly hope this was an entirely original song and not inspired or borrowed from a real Bollywood tune. Because it sounds like nothing so much as a Jem and the Holograms tune, complete with a Misfits bridge. I'm sure glad they didn't go to the obvious well when they were trying to think of the least stereotypical way for Dev to sing and dance. Oh, all right, it's colourful and joyful and pretty. It's still a damn lazy stereotype. And the inclusion of all of the rest of the cast, awkwardly stuck on chairs because they wouldn't be able to pull off the choreography (the one shot of Julia and Frank is embarrassing) was infuriating.
Also lazy? Everything about Rebecca. Everything! If you're going to have a story about a big-name film actress coming in to give your show some credibility, and you want to go off on how KOOKY and RIDICULOUS they are, it helps to at least try to understand the context of what you're talking about. Let's begin, class.
Nobody adopts someone like Karen without a cause.
Notice I didn't say "without a reason". These kinds of instant BFF-ships do pop up, especially on shows where the whole run is only 3 months. But Karen would have had to do something to ingratiate herself. Whisper a line, compliment a role. It wouldn't take much, because that's the kind of person Rebecca is. But it would take something, or else someone else would have become the pet. It wouldn't be hard to show this to us - so SHOW.
She would have a devoted assistant.
This doesn't mean Ellis wouldn't still get stuck on supply-shopping duty (and boy did that look good on him) but she would have someone by her side (in fact, she does, doesn't she?) whose job would be to run for supplies and things. There are many reasons to be late for rehearsal that don't involve eating potato chips.
As if she eats potato chips.
Oh, and while I'm up ...
I think you were trying to make fun of the actress's very specific dietary requirements, show, but indeed, as you yourselves pointed out, peanut allergies are a real thing. I will suspend my disbelief that Rebecca happily ate fried pakoras and butter chicken, but please at least give her a dairy sensitivity or something reasonable.
She would never set foot in Karen's teeny little grotty apartment.
If she wanted to "manipulate the press" an actual kiss that looked like a kiss might be good. Is this show not still on at 10 PM?
Needless to say, I could go on, but I think we've established that this character is a fake, fake person. Why pull the punches? Why not make it a full-on caricature if this is going to be a campy show, which it desperately needs to be in order to survive? (I could suspect this is a case of art imitating life, and that Ms. Thurman didn't want to play an OTT bitch -but then...still, why?)
It's not like they're holding back on the other storylines. Crazy Debra Messing continuing to be bloody insane and shooting death glares at a 29-year-old playing a teen? Sure. "I'M FAMOUS. I've had plays on BROADWAY". NOPE. "You screwed up your life so bad you have to run around threatening loser teenagers." NOPE. Stage management being pulled off the gig to make smoothies? NEVER HAPPEN. I'm sorry.
As usual, the only realism comes from Ivy, who seems more and more like she's on a completely different show. Her manipulations - and hers alone - are understandable because she's not making dramatic demon face when she does them, and because she keeps her tone light-yet-unimpressed with Karen, and because she has the pro skills that she inexplicably lost two episodes ago back, and knows that sometimes the best thing to do is lie in wait, knowing that eventually cream rises to the top.
...But the top of what?
Attached - Uma Thurman in a thoroughly bizarre outfit in New York last week.
It's my own fault.

Betty Buckley's "Story Songs"
- June 19, 2012 7:30 PM
The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth and legendary Broadway star Betty Buckley, present two benefit concerts featuring her recent Song Interpretation Workshop participants. Over recent months, Ms. Buckley has assisted aspiring artists, educators, and experienced performers in honing the craft of singing, acting and storytelling, culminating in these concerts.
Story Songs includes music from classic and contemporary Broadway Shows. Featured performers will be Macy Crowe, Angela Davis, Kristi Dodge, Kirsten Gallon, Marjorie Hayes, Terri Lynn Kavanaugh, Kendal Lannin, Tiffany Morgan, Willene Owens, Miranda Willis and James Worley. Musical director and pianist is Adam Wright.
A portion of the proceeds from the concerts will benefit the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth.
For tickets and reservations, contact the Museum's admission desk at 817-738-9215.
Tickets are $20, and seating is limited.
Ms. Buckley presented the first Story Songs concert in January 2009 and again in March 2011 featuring workshop participants to rave reviews. Mark Lowry's review celebrates, "The results, we must say, were heavenly." And Perry Stewart said, "The ideal plan would be to extend the run of Story Songs, or better yet, take this sublimely entertaining show on the road."
Ms. Buckley shares her expertise for telling stories in song and guides her students through a teaching philosophy that facilitates audience connection through songs and monologues. Her emotional connection to songs and audiences is world renowned, and that very connection is at the heart of what Ms. Buckley imparts to her students. Having been a teacher for over 40 years, Ms. Buckley teaches regularly in Fort Worth as well as workshops in Los Angeles, New York, and around the country.

"Who Else Is Ready To Experience An Expedition To the Fourth Dimension Where The Laws of Earth Can No Longer Limit Your Desires?"
"The Time Has Come To Design A Whole New Destiny In A World Where Time And Space Do Not Exist And Your Thoughts Can Manifest Your Reality At The Speed Of Light!"
"World-Renowned Hypnotherapist Unveils The Secret Techniques To Effectively Master Spiritual Separation From The Body And Achieve The Ultimate State of Superhuman Experience!"
Are you living the life of your dreams? I bet that's a question that's probably been asked to you by both yourself and others at least a thousand times in your life. Well I'm here to ask you a different question.
How would you like to live life within your dreams?
How would you like to be able to develop the ability to effectively part from your body and travel to another world where time, space, gravity and many other "laws" that exist in the 3rd dimension can no longer limit you?
Most people think this is only possible while dreaming. But I assure you, this is much different than having a mere dream.
Let me save you the trouble of trying to figure out exactly what I'm talking about. It's an age old experience of spiritual separation and voyage known as Astral Projection in which the Astral body or spirit separates itself from the physical body temporarily and operates on its own.
All living beings possess an Astral body. This body is connected to the physical body through the umbilicus along with what is known as the silver cord.
Because it exists in the fourth dimension, the restraints of both time and space do not apply to the Astral body. Traveling in one's Astral body creates the experience of being superhuman. One can actually travel great distances in seconds or even instantly.
In fact, all you need to do to arrive at a destination in the Astral planes is think of being there. At that very moment, you will arrive. The various astral planes and the structures that exist there have been documented in countless religions such as Eckinkar.
Imagine what it would be like to travel in another dimension and permeate any and all barriers that limit you in the 3rd dimension?
Aside from serving as the ultimate unsurpassable experience, astral projection can positively impact your life in the physical world as well.
You'll be able to:
But aside from serving as the ultimate experience where limits are non-existent, astral projection will also help improve your quality of life in the 3rd dimension. You see, it's a known fact that clearly visualizing yourself achieving a goal or performing a task within your mind increases the chances that you will achieve that goal or perform that task in real life.
Think about what it would be like to overcome fears or reservations that you have about certain aspects of life without actually having to take the plunge.
Imagine overcoming your fear of flying without actually getting on a plane.
Astral projection can have this profoundly powerful impact on your life, you simply just need an expert strategy to learn and execute it.
And I'm here to tell you that Steve G. Jones, M.Ed. is the expert to deliver that strategy.
Ever since he was a young boy, Steve had both a fascination and curiosity about how the mind affected people's behaviors. Hypnosis was especially interesting to him.
As a childhood hypnosis prodigy, Steve quickly excelled far beyond not only his peers, but those older than him as well. By the time he was 14, he already had an adept knowledge of hypnosis and its applications.
At age 15, while attending Military school, Steve spent many days daydreaming about traveling to other places. Since that wasn't really an option in his real life at the time, he began using his imagination to travel.
He had heard about Astral projection from extensive reading and knew that if it was in fact real, he could use his mind to achieve that state through the power of hypnosis. And that's exactly what he did.
Twenty-five years later, the techniques that he formulated in Military school have been refined many times over and are now synergistically combined with the expertise, knowledge and wisdom that Steve showcases today as the world's leading authority on hypnosis.

In this module you'll discover
Part Two: A 60 Minute Platinum Astral Projection Recording Here you'll discover:
Now that you've learned exactly what Astral projection is and what this program includes, I'm sure your next two questions are: "What makes this program the most effective at helping me to astral project and what separates this program from anything else on the market?"While there are a number of reasons why this program quite simply shatters the notion that anything else even comes close it, I'll name the 3 most relevant:Reason Number 1: This Program is Built on a Platform of HypnotherapyEvery result we experience in life directly is related to our decisions. Our decisions shape our destiny. Each decision is the direct result of the belief supporting it. Essentially, every decision that we make is based on our beliefs.
Regardless whether those decisions impact us positively or negatively, it is our beliefs that form our decisions. If you're not seeing the results you want in any area of your life, chances are you made an incorrect decision at some point. The problem however, is that because those decisions are supported by beliefs which are in some cases extremely difficult to change, it's often hard to make the "right" decision even when you know that it will positively impact your life.
The key to achieving positive results is to change your beliefs which will in turn, change the way you make decisions. The reason why so many people have a problem with this is because changing beliefs is often easier said than done. This is especially true if you've had those beliefs for a long period of time.That's What Separates Hypnotherapy
From Everything Else…..Hypnosis is one of the most effective ways to alter your belief system because it works on a subconscious level. You see, in many cases, our beliefs are sub-conscious. Attempting to consciously change something that takes place in the subconscious mind can be very difficult.
That's why it's critical to work within the sub-conscious when attempting to make a change or learning something for the first time.
Reading about Astral projection is certainly interesting. But learning about Astral projection through the power of hypnosis is both interesting and effective!Reason Number 2: This Program Consists of Platinum Edition RecordingsUnlike a good amount of other hypnosis products which consist of a "rookie hypnotist" sitting in a room with a microphone and a recorder telling you to relax, these recordings have been mastered by ProTools Certified Sound Engineers (whose resumes include feature films and professional bands) using state-of-the-art equipment in the studio that Steve had built in his Georgia office.
Aside from using ProTools (an award winning software used in feature films), there is also specific equalization for Steve's voice so that it is soothing.
But aside from the immense investment of ensuring that all of the technical specifications were up to par, Steve also made it a priority to further enhance these recordings by infusing them with:NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) Future Pacing
This will improve your chances of achieving the desired change by visualizing yourself in the future already achieving it. Remember, the mind cannot tell the difference between a scenario which is real and one which has been clearly visualized in the mind. Therefore, once you experience dealing with a situation positively in your mind, it will be that much easier when it actually happens.Variety of relaxation scenarios (inductions and deepenings)
An induction is the part of the hypnotherapy session in which the client is relaxed into a hypnotic state. The deepening is the "counting down" part in which you relax even more.Binaural tones (also called binaural beats)
Binaural tones or binaural beats are relaxing sounds that are mixed into the Platinum Edition recordings allowing for a deeper relaxation. These tracks were custom-made for Steve in a studio in Florida.Reason Number 3: This Program Was Created By An Expert Hypnotist With Over 25 Years Of Experience
Make no mistake, Steve G. Jones, M.Ed. is the foremost expert in the world of hypnosis. He is:
– The author of 22 books on Hypnotherapy
– A member of the National Guild of Hypnotists and American Board of Hypnotherapy
– President of the American Alliance of Hypnotists
– On the board of directors of the Los Angeles chapter of the American Lung Association
– Director of the Steve G. Jones School of Clinical Hypnotherapy
– A member of the International Registry of Professional Hypnotists
– A member of Pi Lambda Theta International Honor Society for maintaining a
4.0 Grade Point Average while working on his Doctorate

Faithful Reason, Reasonable Faith
Although formally addressed to the bishops of the Catholic Church, Pope John Paul II's 13th Encyclical, Fides et Ratio ["Faith and Reason"], speaks to cultural problems found far beyond the Church's boundaries. These problems revolve around a single, urgent question: Can human beings know the truth of things?
People who don't spend much (or any) time around intellectuals shake their heads and ask: Why is that even considered a question? Of course, they say, I know that some things are true. I know that that is a chair and that this is a glass of wine; that Gettysburg was fought on July 1-3, 1863, and that D-Day was June 6, 1944; that freedom is better than slavery and that children must never be tortured. There are truths of all sorts and we can know them. What's all the fuss about?
But you won't find that robust confidence in the human capacity to know the truth in the places that shape much of our high culture—our colleges and universities. And the leading skeptics about there being anything called "the truth" can be found in university philosophy departments. This, too, strikes many people as bizarre. Isn't truth-seeking what philosophy is for?
Well, yes, once upon a time. During the past two centuries, though, philosophers have been intensely preoccupied with how we can know anything, to the point where philosophy has become thinking-about-thinking-about-thinking, rather than thinking about the truth of things. This intense self-absorption has taken several forms. The most prominent today argues that truth is culturally constructed "all the way down." There is your truth (based on your cultural conditioning) and my truth (similarly "constructed"), but there is no such thing as the truth.
All of which, John Paul II suggests, has made for immense human suffering. Ideas, as always, have consequences. If there is only your truth and my truth and neither of us recognizes a standard by which to judge whose truth is truer (so to speak), then there is only one way to settle things when we disagree: you will impose your will on me, or I will impose mine on you. Why has the history of the 20th century been replete with political violence? One crucial reason, the Pope proposes, is that philosophers have lost their nerve and their sense of vocation.
Fides et Ratio argues that it's time to recover a sense of the awe and wonder with which real philosophy begins, and to reopen the great questions that philosophy is meant to examine: Why is there something rather than nothing? How can I tell good from evil? What is happiness and what is illusion?
The human mind, the Pope suggests, has a built-in affinity for these questions. To deny that the questions are meaningful (as many contemporary philosophers do) not only demeans philosophy; it demeans the human spirit. You are greater than you imagine, John Paul is telling his fellow philosophers (and the rest of us). Recover your nerve. Don't retreat into a bunker without windows or doors. Don't prematurely close yourself to an encounter with the realm of the transcendent, with the mystery that bounds reality.
Fides et Ratio is also a challenge to Christian believers. Faith without reason risks decaying into superstition. Christian faith is something to be thought about and analyzed, not simply experienced. Here the Pope offers a powerful citation from St. Augustine: "Believing is nothing other than to think with assent. Believers are also thinkers; in believing they think and in thinking they believe. If faith does not think, it is nothing."
It's a quote that might usefully be posted over every Catholic classroom in America, mounted over every religious education director's office, and attached to every preacher's notepad.
Fides et Ratio is also an appropriate marker for John Paul II's 20th anniversary. A pontificate that began with the great antiphon, "Be not afraid!" continues into its third decade with a related challenge: "Be not afraid of reason!" That the Catholic Church is the world's premier defender of human reason on the edge of the 21st will strike many of the makers of modern culture as ironic at best, and absurd at worst.
But as Walter Cronkite used to say, "That's the way it is."
George Weigel is a senior fellow of the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, D.C.

Designer Tom Ford appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel show this week, ahead of this weekend's Academy Awards. While he was there, he helped settle a fashion debate between two audience members, and he talked about the process of dressing celebs for the red carpet.
"I don't necessarily love the process," Ford told Kimmel. "It's not a creative process dressing actresses for the Oscars. When you're dressing an actress, or even sometimes someone getting married, you're working with them and fulfilling their dream, their agent's dream, their husband's dream. They have a preconceived notion of what they want to wear, what they want to look like, how they're marketing this film—and you're kind of really just making something for them that's not particularly important."
As for the annual Oscars parade of gowns?
"It's a bubble of 1950s Barbie clothes," he said. "it's quite different from what real people are really wearing."
Still, even though red carpet dressing isn't what you or I swan around the office in on a daily basis, we can still get excited about the crazy high-level-fantasy glamour, right?

Rug Care & Cleaning
With proper care and cleaning of your rug, you can help ensure your investment will last longer.
- A rug pad is recommended to prevent slipping and to extend the life of your rug.
- Vacuum rugs regularly. Set the vacuum height gauge to its highest setting, as some powerful vacuums may damage the pile or bound edges of your rug.
- Vacuum shag rugs with a straight suction vacuum. Never use a beater bar on a shag rug or jute rug.
- Do not pull loose yarns. Trim with scissors.
- It is normal for new rugs to shed fibers, especially wool rugs and hand tufted rugs. Frequent vacuuming will aid in eliminating excess loose fibers. The shedding will diminish with regular wear.
- Blot spills immediately by pressing firmly with clean, dry, white paper towels or cloth towels, working from the outside of the spill inward to avoid spreading. Continue blotting until no moisture transfers to the towel.
- Use a recommended ph balanced, no dye, rug cleaning product for spot cleaning. We recommend Capture available for sale at any local Rug & Home.

Veryant has announced that its isCOBOL Application Platform Suite now runs on HP's OpenVMS operating system. This new offering provides an alternative to HP COBOL (formerly known as Compaq or DIGITAL/DEC/VAX COBOL) that simplifies application maintenance by enabling write once, run anywhere multiplatform deployment, and brings flexible Web and thin client distribution options to OpenVMS users.
The isCOBOL Compiler, written completely in Java, is 100-percent portable. This allows developers to compile programs on their platform of choice and then deploy to any number of environments, instead of maintaining a separate set of source code.
isCOBOL compiled programs run on any device that supports a Java Virtual Machine. This provides an instant solution for thin client deployment as well as the ability to expose COBOL business logic directly to a browser, as a Web Service or Java Servlet, without changing back-end program code.
isCOBOL APS extends new data access and distribution flexibility to businesses with OpenVMS assets. isCOBOL applications accessing ISAM files can harness the power of relational database management systems such as Oracle Database or MySQL without any changes to program code. OpenVMS users can continue using existing data sources on the isCOBOL platform by leveraging ESQL statements or automatically executing COBOL file I/O statements as JDBC calls.
The announcement extends Veryant's support for multiple platforms, including HP-UX, IBM AIX, Linux, Oracle Solaris, and Microsoft Windows.

Canada premier denounces rail company's response
Train company CEO meets with Lac-Megantic mayor, residents
The premier of the Canadian province of Quebec is denouncing the response of railroad executives in the aftermath of a fiery derailment and explosion that left 50 people dead.
Click here for photos from the scene.
Premier Pauline Marois arrived Thursday in Lac-Megantic, the community that was partly demolished by the explosion of oil tanker cars on the runaway train early Saturday.
She said before arriving in the town that there have been "serious gaps" from the railroad company "from not having been there and not communicating with the public."
She described as "deplorable" and "unacceptable" the attitude of Edward Burkhardt, the head of the U.S.-based parent company of the railway company.
Burkhardt himself arrived in the town Wednesday with a police escort, and faced jeers from residents. He said he had delayed his visit to deal with the crisis from his office in Chicago.
Burkhardt blamed an engineer for failing to set the brakes properly before the train hurtled down a 7-mile incline, derailed and ignited.
He said the engineer had been suspended without pay and was under "police control."

Keri Russell, who will always be Felicity to you and your cat, has been confirmed to be taking the lead in Scott Stewart's new film "Dark Skies". The film is about a family who finds they're being terrorized by aliens every night and can't seem to find any help. Maybe the aliens are pissed because she straightened her hair. or cut it or something. Isn't that something people flipped out about back when the show was on? Am I the only one who remembers this? I can't be. Don't judge.
I don't know anyone who's excited about "Dredd", the updated version of the comic book tale we all know and love from the Sylvester Stallone flick, but that isn't stopping writer Alex Garland from making a trilogy out of his tale. That is if the first film makes enough money. It's a bold move, to make a sequel to a film if it does really well, I can't wait to see how this plays out.
I for one am very excited that script writer Dean Devlin is saying hat he's working on a sequel to the 1996 hit "Independence Day". I know I've gone on a few rants about this movie and honestly I don't know where I left off. Let's just go with Vivica A. Fox is really hot and leave it at that.
Philip Seymour Hoffman has officially joined the cast of "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire", the second chapter in the Hunger games trilogy. He'll play Plutarch Heavensbee, the game maker who appears in the 2nd and 3rd book. If you don't know what a game maker is then I don't really want to be your friend.
"Motel" is a new thriller about a hit man brought to a secluded motel in the delta bayou who finds he must battle his peers for survival. Sounds like the worst vacation in the world? Am I right? And what's the deal with airplane food! Anyway John Cusack, Robert De Niro and Crispin Glover have all been added to the cast so maybe it wouldn't be such a bad trip after all. Well unless that Glover guy goes in the pool. He's so pale. It'll frighten the children.
I don't know why I just assumed that the "Total Recall" remake was going to be rated R but it looks like the scamps over at the MPAA have dropped the bomb that it will in fact be slapped with a PG-13 tag. This pretty much ruins the hopes I had of seeing an updated version of the 3 boobed hooker. Thanks guys, thanks for ruining our nation's birthday.
Entrepreneur Marc Siwak is working on plans that would bring a live action zombie based theme park called "Z World" to the Detroit area.The plan would take over 200 acres of abandoned housing and factories and turn them into an overnight adventure where people can live in their very own zombie outbreak. I don't want to spoil anything but I'm pretty sure if you want to run for your life in Detroit you can pretty much do that for free now pretty easily.
It's the day after the 4th of July so it's really slow and truth be told right now I'm pretty caught up with video footage of Lita Ford singing "If I Close My Eyes Forever" at a recent concert so I'm just going to tell you that Jena Malone has apparently landed the role of Johanna Mason in "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire". I know what you're wondering and the answer is yes, Lita sings the Ozzy part and yes she goes right into "Kiss Me Deadly".

Why an Easy Energy-Efficiency Bill Is So Hard
Despite widespread support from Democrats, Republicans, environmentalists and industry groups — in addition to assurances from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid that the chamber would consider it before the August recess — an energy-efficiency bill won't get a floor debate until at least September.
The Senate, which managed to pass a comprehensive immigration-reform bill in relatively short order, has so far failed to do the same for a modest, 48-page bill made up of small-ball measures and just one mandatory requirement: to make the federal government more energy-efficient.
Sometime before week's end, Reid may place the bill, sponsored by Sens. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., and Rob Portman, R‑Ohio, on the floor calendar. But that doesn't guarantee a debate once Congress returns.
Here are four reasons why passing such a bill — once dubbed the low-hanging fruit of energy policy — is a lot more difficult than one might think.
No Sense of Urgency
"There have been a couple of obstacles. One has been the [difficulty of getting] the leadership to feel like there is urgency about getting this done," Shaheen told an audience of clean-energy experts at a June speech in Boston.
Nothing has changed since then because there is still no tangible urgency. No deadline exists, as it did for the bill addressing student-loan rates. No nominees are being held up. And the bill doesn't fund necessary government programs, as do the spending bills filling up the floor schedule.
Pent-Up Demand
"It's the first energy bill that we will have come to the floor since 2007," Shaheen said Tuesday. "There is a lot of pent-up interest in addressing energy issues."
Senators want to attach a whole host of amendments to this bill, including some controversial measures to address the Keystone XL pipeline and climate-change regulations that could put vulnerable Democrats in a tough spot. Reid has a genuine interest in passing the efficiency bill, but first and foremost he wants to keep his party in control of the Senate come 2014.
A fight over extraneous amendments and their potential impact on pending elections is familiar: Reid decided against bringing this same bill to the floor in the previous session of Congress for largely the same reason.
No Lobbying for a Clean Bill
Some of the groups with the deepest pockets are not urging senators to keep the bill free of amendments that could derail it, even though Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Chairman Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Shaheen have asked supporters to do exactly that.
"We're not engaging in the back and forth on what should or should not be included," said Ross Eisenberg, vice president of energy and resources policy at the National Association of Manufacturers.
The Shaheen-Portman bill is a top priority for NAM's members, but so is the Keystone XL pipeline. "If any piece of legislation came to the floor that would help move Keystone along, we would strongly be in favor of it," Eisenberg said.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is actively lobbying for the bill's passage, but it is not yet engaging on specific amendments. By contrast, the Natural Resources Defense Council is lobbying senators to keep the bill free of amendments on the pipeline and environmental regulations.
The "Lowest-Common-Denominator Curse"
The bill is supported by almost everyone, but that's because there's not much to it.
"Why is it so difficult to get this done?" Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee ranking member Lisa Murkowski, R‑Alaska, asked Tuesday. "Maybe because there is not enough in it that provides political leverage for other people."
Call it the lowest-common-denominator curse. There isn't enough policy in the bill to prompt the traditional horse trading that often brings on cosponsors.
By contrast, the House-passed cap-and-trade bill of 2009, which was more than 1,200 pages long, offered many items to many parties. Of course, that bill never became law. But it did clear the House, which is more success than Shaheen and Portman have had in the three years since they first introduced their efficiency bill.
The pair had to trim the bill even more this week to placate concerns about its spending provisions. Its cost before these cuts was $210 million, and now it's expected to be even cheaper. The lowest common denominator just got a little lower.

Basil on a Pizza: Before or After Baking?
Pizzablogger's informative email about Neapolitan basil got us at Slice HQ thinking about the many ways basil can be added to a pie. Do you like basil added before the pie goes in the oven so its flavor mingles with that of the sauce or added after the pie comes out of the oven so it doesn't wilt? And how do you like 'dem leaves—whole or cut into a chiffonade?

When you add the class CHtmlEditor to your project, the users of your software will be able to enter HTML content into an HTML Editor GUI control. Using this class, you get several weeks of coding and testing for free!
This project is very versatile and very thoroughly tested:
To understand this project, you:
You might ask, "With MFC7, Microsoft introduced the CHtmlEditView class. Isn't that all I need?"
No, definitely not!
CHtmlEditView is only the very basic base of all. It does not offer any functionality to work with tables. It does not allow you to modify the background color of the document or to modify its STYLE definitions. It does not offer a source editor and it does not allow you to directly access any HTML element inside the page, etc...
I don't know of any open source HTML editor that supports tables. So I wrote the stuff on my own, which is more complex than you might think,especially if you want to support adding new columns or splitting one cell into two, etc. To keep the work in a reasonable limit, this editor only supports cells that span over multiple columns. Cells spanning over multiple rows are not needed that often, and implementing this would still be a lot of additional work if you do it thoroughly!
The Internet Explorer Editor only supports seven font sizes, as you can see in Outlook Express. The command IDM_FONTSIZE sets . I decided that this is too gross and found a way to let the user set unlimited and precise font sizes using  (using px is much more precise than using pt).

Internet Explorer offers a really huge bunch of COM interfaces, which allow the control of ANYthing. Your application can let Internet Explorer browse to any URL, access any HTML element in the document and read or modify its content. Everything you can do with JavaScript you can also do directly from your application via COM. Also, you cannot only do that if your application hosts the Internet Explorer control, but also if Internet Explorer runs as an independent application! However, remote automation is not a subject of this project.
There is a very long list of COM interfaces described in the MSDN. I will explain here only the basics. The following image tries to illustrate the relationship of the most important interfaces.
The IWebBrowser interface is the browser / editor itself. It contains, for example the command Navigate(), which browses to a URL. You can ask the IWebBrowser interface for the IHTMLDocument interface that represents all the visible content of the HTML document. If the document contains a frameset, then each frame again contains its own IHTMLDocument interface.
You can ask the IHTMLDocument interface for the IHTMLBodyElement which, for example, contains a command to set the background color (). The document can also retrieve ANY other IHTMLElement interface. For example, it can do this by using IHTMLDocument3.getElementById() or by using IHTMLDocument.get_all(), which retrieves a collection of ALL elements in the document that can later be filtered.

You will notice that some interfaces exist with a number. They represent the same interface and you can cast them into each other using CComQIPtr<...>. However, the commands they provide are different. The reason is that these interfaces are implemented at different times:
With CHtmlEditor::GetMsieVersion(), you can retrieve the version of Internet Explorer on the current machine. If you should need any of the newer functionality, you must check the MSIE version. Otherwise, the result is a crash of your application on older Internet Explorer versions! Currently the project does not use any commands that require more than Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0.
The following image illustrates the class hierarchy:
The hierachy of classes in CHtmlEditor is equivalent to this tree. cHtmlDomNode is the base of all. It contains commands like those in the JavaScript DOM model: you can navigate from one element to its parent or sibling (cHtmlDomNode::NextSibling()); you can remove an element from the document (cHtmlDomNode::Remove()) or you can even create a new element.
Derived from cHtmlDomNode are cHtmlDocument and cHtmlElement. This means that these inherit the functionality of cHtmlDomNode. cHtmlElement allows, for example, retrieval of the inner HTML code of an element or the modification of its attributes. For example, cHtmlElement::SetAttribute("Align", "Right") would result in  when executed on a SPAN element.
cHtmlElement::SetAttribute("Align", "Right")

Derived from cHtmlElement are the other elements like cHtmlTable, cHtmlImg, etc that again derive the functionality of cHtmlElement and add their own specialized functionality. For example, cHtmlTableCell::Split() would split a table cell into two cells.
The fine thing is that, using CHtmlEditor, you don't have to care about all of the COM interfaces. They are all nicely wrapped in C++ classes. First of all, to integrate the editor into your project, simply place a static control into the dialog where you want the editor to be. The following code creates the Internet Explorer editor and the Richedit Source editor:
pi_Editor = new CHtmlEditor();
BOOL b_OK = pi_Editor->CreateEditor(&mCtrl_Static, this, FALSE, TRUE);
Here are some examples that demonstrate the usage:
You have a table
 inside the document and you want to set its border color:

cHtmlTable i_Table = pi_Editor->GetDocument()->GetElementByID("MainTable");
if (i_Table.Valid()) i_Table.SetBorderColor("#5544FF");
You have a table and want to set the background color of the third cell in the first row:
cHtmlTableCell i_Cell = i_Table.GetCell(0, 2, TRUE);
if (i_Cell.Valid()) i_Cell.SetBgColor("blue");
You want to set the color of all
 tags that exist in the document:
CComQIPtr<IHTMLElementCollection> i_Collect;
UINT Count = pi_Editor->GetDocument()->GetElementCollection("HR", i_Collect);
for (UINT i=0; i<Count; i++)
cHtmlHR i_HR = cHtmlElement::GetElementFromCollection(i, i_Collect);
i_HR.SetProperty(E_Color, "#FF8800");
CHtmlEditor allows access (read and write) to any style attribute of any HTML element in the document. It is as easy as writing:
i_TableCell.GetStyle().SetProperty(E_FontSize, "18px");
...which would set the font size of a table cell to ...	. You can also modify the general style definitions for the whole document. The following sets .
...

pi_Editor->GetDocument()->GetStyleSheet().SetProperty("Body", E_FontSize, "18px");
For example, the user has selected text and clicks a toolbar button to execute any action on this text. There are several default functions provided by Internet Explorer that work with the current selection. For example, if you call:
pi_Editor->ExecSetCommand(IDM_FORECOLOR, "red")
...the foreground color of the selected text will be set to red. You can find all the IDM_XYZ commands in the file MsHtmcid.h of Visual Studio 7, but most of them are not implemented. It seems that Microsoft initially had many more plans with Internet Explorer than they finally realized.
But what if you want to implement your own not-yet-existing functionality? You can call cHtmlDocument::GetSelection(), which will return the HTML element containing the cursor or the selection.
You want to retrieve the URL of the image which is currently selected by the user:
cHtmlImg i_Img = pi_Editor->GetDocument()->GetSelection();
if (i_Img.Valid()) s_Url = i_Img.GetURL();
You want to add a  tag around the text that is currently selected (Text):
BOOL b_OK = pi_Editor->GetDocument()->AddToSelection("", "");
See source code comments for more info!
There are several reasons why I prefer working with Visual Studio 6 instead of upgrading to Visual Studio 7, but I don't want to explain this here. The problem is that MFC 6 does not yet support CHtmlEditView, the MFC wrapper for the HTML Editor. However, MFC 6 already supports CHtmlView, the Internet Explorer Browser.
If you look into the source code of CHtmlEditView (VisualStudio7\Vc7\AtlMfc\Include\AfxHtml.h), you will notice that it would be extremely awkward to convert all that stuff to make it run on Visual Studio 6. There are several classes required, like CHtmlEditCtrlBase, etc and you cannot simply take Microsoft's Visual Studio 7 code and put it into your Visual Studio 6 project. This is because there are several dependencies on classes which do not yet exist in Visual Studio 6 (CStringA, CStringW) or which have less functionality. You would end up rewriting all of it.
I found an easier way of expanding CHtmlView to get all the functionality I need by adding only a very few lines of code. For Visual Studio 6, it is required to #include some Visual Studio 7 header files and a *.Lib file, which you find in the folder Vs7 of the Visual Studio 6 project. This is the reason why the Visual Studio 6 project download is much bigger. The Visual Studio 7 project obviously uses CHtmlEditView and is much smaller, as all the includes are not required.
If you are not familiar with MFC and if you are wondering what _T("Red") is good for or what the compiler options UNICODE and MBCS mean, I recommend the VERY good book "Professional MFC," which you can download for free from my homepage. There are some people who don't like MFC, mostly beginners who never understood it. However, this project is a very good example that demonstrates how MFC makes your life much easier! Let's say you have the HTML Editor and want to retrieve the title of the document:
<TITLE>Title of document</TITLE>
Programming the COM interface of Internet Explorer without MFC would result in this code:
GetDocTitle(IWebBrowser2* pWebBrowser, WCHAR *pu16Title)
IDispatch *pHtmlDocDisp;
IHTMLDocument2 *pHtmlDoc;
// get the IDispatch interface of the document
HREULT hr = pWebBrowser->get_Document (&pHtmlDocDisp);
if (SUCCEEDED (hr))
// Query interface for IHTMLDocument2
hr = pHtmlDocDisp->QueryInterface (IID_IHTMLDocument2, (void**)&pHtmlDoc);
if (SUCCEEDED (hr))
BSTR bsTitle;
hr = pHtmlDoc->get_title (&bsTitle);
if (SUCCEEDED (hr))
wcscpy(pu16Title, bsTitle);
SysFreeString (bsTitle);
With MFC, the same code becomes much shorter and less error-prone:
GetDocTitle(CHtmlEditView *pEditor, CString *ps_Title)
CComQIPtr<IHTMLDocument2> i_Doc2 = pEditor->GetHtmlDocument();
CComBSTR bs_Title;
i_Doc2->get_title (&bsTitle);
*ps_Title = bs_Title;
Using the class CHtmlEditor of this project, it cannot be easier anymore:
GetDocTitle(CHtmlEditor *p_Editor, CString *ps_Title)
*ps_Title = p_Editor->GetDocument()->GetTitle();
After working for nearly 2 years with the Internet Explorer COM interface, I have to say that this is very good quality: it is free of bugs! This is very unusual for Microsoft products, but the only Internet Explorer bug I found is IHTMLDocument2.get_readyState. Do not use this command! This function worked fine until Microsoft destroyed it with Windows XP SP2. However, this does not matter, as you can easily replace it with CHtmlEditor::GetBusy().
There is also a bug in the MFC function CHtml(Edit)View::GetDocumentHTML() that uses CStreamOnCString, which is buggy. I wrote my own class, cStreamReader, which replaces the buggy function.
Everybody knows that Internet Explorer is full of security holes. However, if you use it in your application just as an editor and do NOT browse with it to any malicious webpage, you don't have to worry about anything!
IMPORTANT: I recommend NOT allowing the user to switch into browse mode. This sample project allows everything.
If you don't want to be that strict, you can use the function CHtmlEditor::OnBeforeNavigate2() to forbid browsing to the internet. There you can put a filter which allows only files on the local hard disk and embedded resources. Each time the user clicks a link, he gets an error message.
If you switch Internet Explorer into Design Mode, you will find that by default hitting the Enter key inserts TWO new lines. This is because Internet Explorer inserts a
 tag. If you want a
 (a single new line), you have to press Shift + Enter.
This is quite stupid because you will have to tell all the users of your software to change their habits and to always hold the Shift key down when they want to go to the next line. There is no way to change this behaviour in Internet Explorer. However, there is a work-around. After loading a clean document, you have to insert an empty
 tag like this:

. Now each Enter inserts ONE new line, which will look like this:
Text of line 1

Text of line 2
. Also, each empty table cell has to be filled:

	. CHtmlEditor takes care to do all this automatically.

Text of line 1

Text of line 2

This sample project uses a very primitive GUI consisting of buttons and button-style check boxes to keep it simple. You will have to create your own nice toolbar with tooltips. The advantage of a toolbar over check boxes and buttons is that a toolbar cannot steal the focus from the HTML editor when the user clicks a toolbar button. The result could look like this in my program ElmüSoft Desktop Organizer:
I used the top row of toolbar buttons for table editing, the bottom row for text editing and the middle row for all the rest of the functionality.
Every time you move the cursor in the HTML document, CHtmlEditor posts a notification to its parent so the GUI can be updated. This means that if the cursor moved from a bold text with font size 11 to an underlined text with font size 15, the combo boxes and toolbars are updated. In MFC7, CHtmlEditor gets this event from CHtmlEditView::OnUpdateUI(), but this is not yet available in MFC6. However, after studying the MFC source code, I found that this event is triggered by a timer. I subclass the "Internet Explorer_Server" window, catch this timer and so get the event also using MFC6.
After CHtmlEditor receives this event, it posts a message to its parent. I use WM_IDLEUPDATECMDUI for that, but you can use any other message that is not currently used for other purposes.
Internet Explorer displays a context menu when you right click into it. This is different in Browse mode and in Design mode. Here on The Code Project, you can find an article about how to modify or turn off this context menu, but this way is extremely complicated.
As I wrote above, I subclass the "Internet Explorer_Server" window and there I catch WM_CONTEXTMENU. There you can easily implement your own context menu via TrackPopupMenuEx() or turn it completely off.
In the same class (CMsieWnd), you can also adapt the way Internet Explorer reacts to keyboard shortcuts. You can either modify the default behaviour (e.g. CTRL-P for printing, CTRL-N to open a new window) or add your own additional shortcuts (e.g. CTRL-R to insert a new table row).
CHtmlEditor contains a very complex HTML cleanup functionality. Why is this? As I already wrote, I made this editor for my program ElmüSoft Desktop Organizer. There the user can enter any HTML content which will later be displayed on the desktop in a note. These desktop notes are displayed by an Internet Explorer Window that is positioned invisibly over the desktop, as you see above.
As this desktop organizer uses Java Script to move and open/close these notes, I cannot allow the user to enter his own JavaScript that might disturb the correct functioning. So there is a cleanup function in CHtmlEditor that removes any

Ever seen a reality documentary (shock-umentary) about hoarding? The objective in producing such a 'slice of life' seems to be more about sensational shaming and humiliation, than about gaining empathy or information about fellow human experience. Hoarding is generally regarded as a serious mental illness (in the OCD family) and has mental, psychological, social, and physical consequences for many. The disorder deserves a more sympathetic treatment than the media often gives it.
This novel by Lisa Jewell is an attempt at that, trying to get at the core reasons for this disturbing dangerous behaviour and how it can affect families. Lorelei, the main character, is a vibrant mother who loves to gather her chicks for Easter and displays her children's artwork on the walls of their cozy kitchen. While Lorelei knows how to love people, she doesn't know how to care for them. The idyllic scene eventually gives way to tragedy and dysfunction. It reminded me of Jeannette Walls' The Glass Castle, a true story of a severely dysfunctional family.
What makes a person become a hoarder? How do families deal with such a problem? What might cause them to dismiss or defend something that clearly is out of control? The author definitely creates a compelling family drama, interesting in its own right, while at the same time attempts to give insight into how an average family affected by hoarding might cope (or not cope) with it.
Lisa Jewell has recently come on my author radar and I will look forward to reading more of her books. This one was written 10 years ago, while a more recent one that I read not long ago, called I Found You, was more suspenseful– in the category of what we now call the domestic thriller.
